Currently waiting on new battery, the battery of course is shot and only got it started for less than a minute to make sure it turned over which it did no problem, for now checking and cleaning what I can on her. Thank you all for the advice.

I just bought my first 1986 Yamaha Venture Royale XVZ1300D here in Ohio, for those who want to know I paid $550.00 delivered. I am a noob in the big bike scene, I currently own a 96 Sporty and have modded and done all I could to that, time to move on to bigger things. I bought it from a guy who has owned it for over 20 years and the last time it was on the road was about a year ago due to over heating problem. Like many others he just didn't have anymore time to mess with it and bought something newer. She turns over fine but over heats within a few minutes. He also gave me a service manual and original brown plastic parts, I know I will be reading plenty of that manual I am glad I found this site and have been reading here a lot already, good info for sure, thank you all.
